The image on my new Battlezone is off a few degrees ccw. I've never attempted to adjust the yoke on one of these. Anything I should know before I give it a go? Thanks! -Jim

I need to clean the mirror in my newly acquired Battlezone. Any recommendations?

This arrived in my basement last night. Needs a good cleaning, but I think it will fit in very well. :D

My (soon to be ex-) boss just gave me a Battlezone. Was working until this summer. When powered on, it makes the "tank noise" for a little while, makes a little skip, and repeats endlessly. Screen is blank. Test mode yields this: I haven't had time to dig into it, yet. I did take a few...

I've got a later-style coin door on my Defender. It's just the bare door, no coin slots or whatnot. Nothing to attach anything to. Can anyone tell me where I can get coin buttons, etc? I'm not even sure what to call the parts. I need the whole mechanism: bezels, buttons, framework it all...

The serial number plate is missing from my Mr Do cabinet. Did Universal stamp the number anywhere else, or was that it?

Dedicated Mr. Do Did I pay too much? Maybe. Did I drive too far? Definitely. Am I very happy with my Universal cab Mr. Do? Yes!! Pics to follow, after I get it unwrapped.

I grew up in the "golden age" of arcades, and have never played any version of Mortal Combat or Street Fighter. And I sometimes think I must be the only one on here who hasn't. So what common game have you never played (that everyone else has)? -Jim

I've decided that it's time to start documenting my Pacman restoration. I picked up this empty painted-over cabinet a few years ago, and it collected dust until I finally started working on it last week. I need to pull my "before" pictures off my wife's camera, but here are some in-progress...

I'm looking for opinions, to help me make up my mind on some of points. 1. I've stripped the old paint off my pac, and I've purchased stencils. But I'm not sure how "perfect" of a restoration I want to do. Most of my machines are somewhat "battle-scarred," and I'm fine with that. But since...

There were 6 staples in the bottom 4 inches on the front right side. How in the heck do you deal with that?

I've found lots of posts about pacman yellow, but I can't find any for red and blue. Any good color matches?

Does anyone else hate removing a pristine sticker from an eprom? I'd rather buy a replacement, and keep the "original" intact. Yes, I probably need professional help....

The Tron manual states that the game might have come with a set of eproms from various manufacturers (with jumper wires cut accordingly). I want to order a spare eprom (to burn the freeplay rom), and I don't feel like pulling the game out and popping the boards apart ahead of time to read the...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a programmer, and I'm wondering about the differences between these two. I'm assuming that the 2011 is just an update to the 2007. Both seem to have a nice selection of supported eproms. So is it worth the extra few dollars to get the 2011? -Jim

Even better than the "Power companies hate this" ad showing an arduino, I just saw this popup: I'm guessing it blows out your monitor, saving you some electricity....

I need to get the paper off the front of an NOS pacman marquee. And oh boy is it stuck on there. Suggestions for removal? -Jim

After not playing for a couple months, I played one game and broke 100k for the first time. (I said it was still low.) My previous high was 86k, so I'm happy. Even if the game went "thrown barrel happy" taking out my last guy.

Probably a silly question, but here goes: Is there any issue with the lower panel BLW bulb, and children whose heads are right at that level? Does the panel absorb pretty much all of the UV light? Or should I be safe, and just put a BLB in there?
